Shepherdstown Cottage | C&O Canal Potomac River Cottage

3 Bedroom Cottage in Shepherdstown, Sharpsburg

Located just steps away from Dam #4 on the C&O Canal / Potomac River. (C&O mile marker 84.6) Perfect for a getaway or romantic weekend. You can hike/bike the C&O Canal, bring your kayak/canoe/bikes, fish or swim in the river. Sit on the porch and listen to the rumble of the water falling over the dam. Local lore is this was the home of a canal lock keeper or the gate house keeper. For history buffs, there was a small skirmish when Lee’s army attempted to cross dam.
THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE, OWNER ON SITE IN GARAGE APARTMENT.
The house is a historic house built in 1841 and remodeled sometime in the early 1900's. Please be aware, the steps up to the front door and the basement steps are a little steep.
THE FIREPLACE IS NOT TO BE USED, its not in working condition.
FYI - this house is not a Canal Quarters lockhouse operated by the C & O Canal Trust, it is privately owned.
Cell service can be sketchy down here at the river, all depends on your carrier/weather conditions, etc. I have no issues, but if you do, wi-if calling and text works. And the internet works great!
Roku for tv. You will need to use your own passwords for Netflix, YouTube, etc.
FYI FOR TIMID DRIVERS : The house is high on a hill above the river, one side of the driveway has a steep drop off down to the road. The driveway is tight, but there is room for 4 cars, you will need to make 3 point turns in order to turn around.
We also have access to a local farm if you wish to stable your horses to ride along the canal or battlefield , I can put you in touch with them to discuss fees. They will allow you to park your trailer at the farm. (you need permission/permit for the battlefield)
Public boat ramp a few miles farther down the road. Because of steep/tight driveway, there is no room for boat/jet ski trailers. You can keep them overnight at the horse farm for a small fee.

Summary: Peaceful, tranquil and so much to explore right outside the door. The front porch is the perfect location for meals and reading. I absolutely loved riding my bike on the C&O canal towpath. The cottage is beautiful and well decorated with lots of details. Can’t wait to come back!

Summary: My brother and I used this wonderful historic home as a base camp for several days of biking the C and O. We did 142 miles of the 180. Dam#4 on the Potomic, across the road, is just this side of heaven. Go here. You won't regret it.

Summary: The location of the cottage was perfect for our bike trip. Just across the street was the entrance to the towpath with wonderful views of the Potomac. The cottage itself was very cool even with the hot humid weather. Very interesting decor. The slate steps to the cottage are steep and have no railing which may be a problem for some people. You definitely need a car but we found restaurants and other things to do within 30 minutes.

Summary: Our stay was simply amazing! The home was very clean and inviting. You can here the sound of the water as it rolls over the dam from the the front porch. The sounds of the birds chirping right outside is the best sound. We loved this place and will be back. Rorke is especially nice and was very easy to communicate with. 5 Stars easy!
